The HoN/DoTA Thread

i play on gg client, and it’s pretty sad. I can play upto 30min with out finishing like about 5 matches, hense wasting my money, because of stupid filipinos and their crap ass dial up.

I can’t afford the original warcraft software, so i can’t play on bnet,

I started a DOTA Social group, inviting a bunch of you guys in this thread. Post your names up! Also I just inherited my friend’s login and he’s got an icon so I can play TDA games, how do I get started in TDA? Name - OBGunz on USEAST. Also, will I get banned if I just disconnect? Sometimes my connection fucks me over.

^_-;

last i checked you just needed an icon to play games. or get vouched

but they will shit on you for leaving/disconnecting

I see a ton of fighting game names when I play. I randomly run into tooons of people from SRK. Are you haduuken?

It never seemed to matter what the percentage was, helix would activate like every other hit. I should try out the new axe, the new scourge jungle actually seems viable now.

You just need to join the channel “Clan TDA”, and you should be automatically safelisted. Yes, you will get banned if you disconnect (you might get lucky if people are too lazy to submit). I’ve d/ced like 3 times in the last week, and haven’t got banned.

I’ll add you, and let’s see if we can get some games going. Keep in mind that TDA play, as shitty as it is, is still a world different from Pubs. You’ll feel like you’re playing a completely different game, and you’ll have to relearn a lot of stuff. Hell, i’m still shitty with most characters, and am still learning stuff that should be fundamental. Jamesssalas will argue that i’m shitty with all characters. :sad:

Jeebs you deny every playing with me :frowning:

Ooops. <3

Yeah, I play with Bacardi too, and sometimes skisonic. Tyranidman(Isaac) too sometimes, but I doubt he knows who the hell I am.

Marn, here’s an example of jungling. It’s not the best vid, but it does show a few basics like pulling. Usually the best time to pull a camp to spawn a second camp is at 0:51 seconds. You need to kill creeps before 0:44, otherwise their corpses will stop a new camp from spawning.

DO NOT PULL HEAVIER CAMPS AT EARLY LEVELS. This is important in the new version because of that stupid alpha wolf, which has a 30% damage aura. Two heavy camps with 30% damage = gg you.

Also learn how to pull neutrals into your creep lanes, so your creeps tank all the hits, while you just last hit. Jungling is the best for:

Bristle, Beastmaster, Undying, Axe, Centaur. They all have skills that help them jungle. You can also jungle with tide, but that means you’re skipping gush (your skillset will be shell/smash/shell/smash etc.). It’s usually not optimal for levi to jungle, unless your team will really benefit from two solos.

juggernaut and lycan can jungle too!

lol fachh

jugg jungle not recommended for noobs

is it just me, or did they nurf SK’s epi?

I was playing SK on 6.51, and at lvl 6 i managed to sneak behind a full life lvl6 sniper and went for the BorrowXXepi and he lived. i haven’t played SK since 6.48, but i know the potential of killing heros with that is high.

They nerfed the area of effect and the amount of slow epicenter has. I don’t really think Epicenter needed a nerf, at can be interrupted and at higher levels it simply doesn’t do enough damage… It’s still a great setup move with blink dagger but it rarely finishes people off anymore…

^_-;

well, actually. Epi did need a nurf because at around lvl 6, you really need to keep an eyeout if SK was said to be missing. A borrowXXepi was that deadly in the previous versions. And you can’t interrupt it since you are still at lvl 6 and don’t have euls yet. :slight_smile:
